Divine Continent vast land, boundless mountains, Central Plains fertile land, right now it still looked like a scene of flourishing peace, not the slightest sense of the strange happenings in the desolate mountains in the southwest border.
However, right now there were two people, flying towards Majestic Fox Mountain where Ghost King Sect headquarters was, they were Jin PingEr and Taoist Cang Song who had secretly infiltrated Qing Yun Hill and secretly destroyed the Heaven Lock.
After secretly destroying the Heaven Lock of Qing Yun Hill four branches peaks, they followed Ghost King's instructions and carefully explored the surroundings of Qing Yun Hill, delayed for a few days before rushing back. On the way back, Taoist Cang Song was silent, sometimes he hardly spoke a word for the whole day. Jin PingEr more or less understood Taoist Cang Song's conflicted state of mind but knowing was knowing, she was not a soft-hearted, compassionate and kind girl, on the contrary, although she still smiled sweetly every day but in her heart she looked down on Taoist Cang Song.
On the way back, after entering the hundred miles boundary of Majestic Fox Mountain, after rushing for a day, both of them landed from the sky and casually found a secluded valley to rest for a while. This valley was not big, between the mountains, a small stream flowed downwards from upstream, through the valley bottom and flowed downwards. The stream water was clear, Jin PingEr after rushing for a day, already felt thirsty, walked to the stream and scooped some water with her hands, put it into her mouth to drink.
This valley stream water was cold to the touch but very sweet to the mouth, Jin PingEr could not help but drank a few more mouthfuls and then heaved a long sigh, turned and smiled, said, "Priest, this stream water is good, don't you want to come over and drink some?"
Taoist Cang Song sat on a rock beside, shook his head, his face looked gloomy, in fact, ever since they returned from Qing Yun Hill, his face had always been like this. Jin PingEr saw it, laughed in her heart but did not bother to expose him, turned around, used her hands to scoop up the clear stream water, splashed it on her face a few times and then raised her head to shake it, felt a coolness penetrating straight to the bottom of her heart, indescribable pleasure.
Under the sunlight, the crystal clear water on her fair skin looked like pearls, slowly sliding down, her chest was slightly dampened by a few droplets of water powder, indistinctly revealing her soft and supple skin, looking seductive and beautiful.
"Miss Jin." Suddenly, Taoist Cang Song who had been silent all this while suddenly called out.
Jin PingEr did not expect Taoist Cang Song to speak first, she felt it was strange, she turned and looked, revealing her signature coquettish smile, smiled and said, "What is it, Taoist Cang Song?"
Taoist Cang Song's eyes slightly drooped, did not look at Jin PingEr's beautiful face that could turn all living things upside down, looked at his brows slightly furrowed, as if his heart was burdened with a lot of worries, hesitated for a moment, Taoist Cang Song was heard saying, "Ghost King sect leader ordered us to secretly destroy Qing Yun sect's Heaven Seal, I know the intention behind it, Evil Sect …"
Halfway through his words, he suddenly choked, Jin PingEr looked at him with a smile, but her eyes seemed to contain some mockery. Taoist Vasp Caelo was silent for a moment, quietly said, "… Holy Sect wishes to unify the world, Qing Yun sect is naturally the number one enemy, breaking their heaven secrets lock, is even more important. But I don't understand, why did Ghost King sect leader ordered us to investigate all the towns and villages within a hundred miles radius of Qing Yun sect, and the commoners living there, these commoners are basically defenceless commoners, even if they revered Qing Yun sect, it doesn't seem to be enough for the holy sect to deal with them? "
Jin PingEr's charming eyes turned, smiled and said, "Why, Taoist Cang Song, don't tell me you have the heart to bemoan the state of the universe and pity mankind, and wish to save all living beings?"
Taoist Cang Song's face darkened, said, "I just feel that it is alright to deal with Qing Yun sect, but if you want to involve these innocent commoners, it is not necessary."
Jin PingEr smiled and said, "Taoist Cang Song you don't have to be angry, I did not say anything!" After speaking, she paused, after a moment of contemplation, said, "Honestly speaking, the investigation of the towns and villages around Qing Yun Hill, it is indeed Ghost King sect leader's order, the reason, I am also not very clear but from what I see, with Ghost King sect leader's temperament, he does not seem to be a madman who massacred the commoners for no reason?"
Taoist Cang Song's face softened slightly, pondered for a moment, seemed to feel that Jin PingEr's words were reasonable but he seemed to still have some misgivings, shook his head and said, "Even so, I still do not understand why we are to investigate those commoners, other than their numbers, there is nothing strange about them. Those commoners, even if there are hundreds or thousands of them together, I'm afraid they are still not a match for an accomplished cultivator. "
Jin PingEr smiled and said, "We have all thought of this, Ghost King sect leader's heart is as deep as the sea, how can he not think of it? So taoist Cang Song you don't have to worry groundless fears. "
Taoist Cang Song sighed softly and said, "It is because Ghost King sect leader's heart is as deep as the sea, I am unable to guess what exactly he is thinking in his heart, although common sense is so, I'm afraid he will suddenly …" Speaking till the end, he seemed to feel bored, with a bitter laugh, shook his head and did not continue.
Jin PingEr naturally was not the kind of person who would worry about the lives of the commoners below Qing Yun Hill, but Taoist Cang Song's strange attitude, she felt displeased, she did not even know what her future would be and he still had the heart to worry about others? Could it be that these Good Faction fellows all had this temperament, even if they joined the Evil Faction they could not change?
Jin PingEr shrugged her shoulders, feeling baffled by this kind of strange matter, turned and walked back to the stream, she wanted to wash her face before they continue their journey, she indifferently said, "Taoist Cang Song you don't have to worry, there is no need to think about these for …"
The word "for" had not left her mouth, Jin PingEr's eyes suddenly froze, the word seemed to be stuck and could not come out, even her body, seemed to stiffen.
The stream water which was so clear that one could see the bottom, suddenly there was a patch of blood stain, the colour dark red, following the flow of the water in the stream, slowly rippled. Jin PingEr stared at the patch of blood, her face instantly turned ugly, recalling that she had drunk the water here and used the water to wash her face, Jin PingEr's stomach convulsed, a feeling of wanting to vomit.
She stood where she was and looked at it silently for a while. Then, her gaze moved and followed the blood mist upstream. Sure enough, the blood stain was slowly flowing down from upstream. It was like a thin red line in the stream, stretching endlessly.
Jin PingEr coldly snorted, strided along the stream upstream, behind her, Taoist Cang Song saw Jin PingEr suddenly walking further away, felt strange, said, "Miss Jin, what happened to you?"
Jin PingEr did not answer him, her pair of eyes only stared at the stream, Taoist Cang Song frowned, walked over, his face changed slightly, he also discovered the abnormality in the stream, after hesitating for a moment, he also followed behind Jin PingEr upstream.
This stream was not deep nor wide, when one walked down, the water level was not more than the knees, three or four steps and one could reach the other side but the water murmured, meandering, it was actually quite long, the two of them walked in the valley for almost an hour, looked like they were about to walk out of the valley but this stream was still not in sight, and that strange red line of blood stain in the water, also continued to stretch endlessly.
Jin PingEr and Taoist Cang Song looked at each other, frowned, both of them were not ordinary people, naturally they knew that if it was an ordinary beast's blood, flowing in the water, ten to twenty zhangs would still flow along but if it was such a long distance, it would have long dissolved into the water and disappeared. Right now the blood stain in the water was still coagulated and did not disperse, there was definitely something strange.
In the mountains, the wind blew past the secluded valley, a strange whistling sound was heard, the forest swayed, making strange rustling sounds, adding a few degrees of eeriness.
Taoist Cang Song suddenly stopped, Jin PingEr frowned, looked at him, said, "What is it?"
Taoist Cang Song was silent for a moment, said, "I think we better not be meddlesome."
Jin PingEr's brows raised, as if she did not expect Taoist Cang Song to say such words, said, "Priest, don't tell me you are afraid?"
A trace of anger flashed past Taoist Cang Song's face but he still suppressed it, said, "The important matter is more important, Ghost King sect head has already instructed us to do something for a period of time, I think we better go back and report first." After speaking, without waiting for Jin PingEr to speak, as if he did not want to see Jin PingEr's slightly mocking gaze, he straightaway turned, rode his sword and flew up, minding his own business and flew towards the direction of Majestic Fox Mountain.
Jin PingEr watched Taoist Cang Song's departing figure, coldly snorted, a look of disdain in her eyes, for the moment she could not be bothered to chase, turned her head and looked at the blood stain in the stream, slowly, her face turned solemn.
Suddenly, in the spacious valley, a low roar was heard from upstream, Jin PingEr was concentrating in her thoughts, immediately she was startled by the sudden roar, quickly turned and looked, ahead was a forest, the stream made a turn at the edge of the forest, the place where the roar came from was blocked by the dense forest.
Since she was already here, Jin PingEr naturally would not ignore it, her body leapt lightly, she had already quietly swept past, into the dense forest, after a few leaps, leapt onto a tree branch at the edge of the forest, looked down.
With this look, her countenance immediately changed.
Taoist Cang Song was flying in the air, deliberately slowed down and waited for a while, unexpectedly Jin PingEr did not catch up, Taoist Cang Song looked at the empty space behind him, couldn't help but felt annoyed. Although this Jin PingEr was usually polite to him and always addressed him as "Taoist priest" but Taoist Cang Song was experienced in the ways of the world, had long seen the hidden trace of disdain and ridicule in Jin PingEr's eyes.
Or maybe Jin PingEr actually most likely did not mean to ridicule him but Taoist Cang Song thought so, it was no wonder that Taoist Cang Song, ever since he betrayed Qing Yun and joined the Evil Sect Ghost King sect, his mentality had gradually become unusually sensitive.
Just when Taoist Cang Song was sulking, hesitating whether he should go alone or go back to look for Jin PingEr, a faint purple light shone from behind, it was Jin PingEr flying over.
The brilliant light from her magical weapon flashed, Jin PingEr came to Taoist Cang Song's side, the high altitude wind blew her clothes, just that looking at her now, Jin PingEr's face seemed to be deep in thought, totally without the usual smile on her face.
Seeing Taoist Cang Song waiting there, Jin PingEr smiled at him, just that the smile looked rather forced, totally not her usual coquettish look, said, "Taoist priest, let's go."
Taoist Cang Song coldly snorted, turned and rode his sword forward, did not even speak a word. Facing this somewhat rude action, Jin PingEr's face did not show anger, on the contrary, she slowly followed behind, watching Taoist Cang Song's figure flying away, her eyes revealed a flickering complicated expression.
